Even Tor has its flaws that can be used in order to unmask users. But of course, that isn't the point.
I certainly agree that it's vital to find and convict criminals. But the mere existence of such people must not eliminate the personal rights of the general population. After all, the respect for those rights is what separates us from terrorists. North Korea and Iran are great examples, those countries are perfectly safe and true crime is hard to find. But it comes at a price I'm not willing to pay.
Your last post also shows that you're aware of the possibilities to out-smart security services. So are criminals and terrorists. The only ones that aren't: the general public. Hence, they are the only ones that are really being spied on. How could that ever be right?
